the day that we were leaving for Fla last year I went downstairs to get a shirt and saw water on the floor. at first I thought it was the condensate pump or tube, but it turned out that the water heater baffle rusted loose and ruptured the tank.
we have two inline so I just valved it off and we left - after I turned the main to the house off.

Course, as soon as we landed back in MN, I had to catch a plane to portland. My dad went over and replumbed the tanks and got it running for the admiral..

That could have been bad. You may have been a new owner of an indoor pool!!

Boats, that luck is just bad... right before your vacations
Knock-on-wood; we never have problems around vacation time.

All of our problems happen on or around holidays...

We used to have problems around the holidays as well, LL. Now I tell the relatives to stay home and no more problems.

Ironically true prober !
We love our family, but it is amazing how quiet and peaceful the holidays are with just the four of us....

All is well, got home about two hours ago!
The pump was put in on Wednesday while we were gone and the pool is as clear as ever! Just needs a good vacuum!
